Hi Olaf,
you might want to consider switching to our new X2Go-TCE (also works via PXE/TFTP, if desired, but doesn't need NFS - instead it uses HTTP(S) or (T)FTP to load the required files into a ramdisk on the TC).
In my opinion, it is a lot more flexible and you could try to run a local desktop on the TC, with the Skype client or a Browser (there's a Skype4Web beta that supports video calls, as I've been told) as part of the image. Remote applications would be pulled in via Published Application Mode instead of delivering a full desktop.
This is an area where we could also use some volunteer manpower or people forking over some cash for paid-for development tasks, but at least the groundwork is there - so even if you don't have the skills to get it set up yourself, it should be way cheaper than adding USB support to X2Go.
Kind Regards, Stefan Baur

Hi Stefan,
thanks for the explanation, then I know now that it is not a configuration error on my system.
I'll see if I find a replacement for putty I had installed on the flash drive of the thinclient. Then I would run on my computer (only there I need the webcam from time to time) x2go over the client software and would have in the background the option of the webcam.
Thank you for your great work!
Bye, Olaf

From my webcam (Microsoft lifecam 3000 HD) works under x2go TCE only the microphone, but no picture. I can also not check anything and come no further, since the webcam is not shown with lsusb in shell.
(By the way, other USB devices are full not recognized, as my external hdd and a BlueRay drive. Via USB, only the microphone of the webcam and USB sticks works so far.)
How do I get the webcam to run?
You don't. There is no USB forwarding support, because no volunteer coder has stepped up to code one in their free time, and no one wants to pay for the development costs either.
We support Printing, Audio, and file sharing - that's it.
